| When we arrived they attempted to place us in a room instead of the suite that we had reserved and they had confirmed. In other words the suite that we had reserved had not been reserved and the desk clerk was a bit argumentative until my wife produced the hard copy of the pre-paid reservation/confirmation. The first night I slept very little as a result of the cracking and poping of the window air conditioner plastic. I complained the next day and they sent a person up who said nothing could be done. The desk responded when I had to tell them what their employee had concluded. They offered to move us as we were on our way out for an appointment. I declined, and fixed the problem myself......no consideration was offered or given for the incovenience. The service of the hotel has declined since we last stayed there and it is not the 1st class hotel that it was. Charging guests for a continental breakfast is tacky. |

| The room was spacious, great closet space and enough room for the 3 of us to spread out with our mulitple suitcase. The staff was wonderful and helpful. The door man always there to lend a hand. The location can't be beat we walked to most of our destinations. When we needed transportation, the subway was right down the block or the door man would hail us a cab. We enjoyed our stay and will go back again. It is an older hotel (which we found charming) not all the bells and whistles of the fancy chain hotels, but for as much time as we spent in our room, it definately served us well. |

| I was amazed to find such a high quality hotel for such a reasonable price. There are numerous dining options next door and across the street, and the hotel provides menu/delivery service in conjunction with a variety of selected partners. |

| We loved this hotel. Large room, tall ceilings, lots of space. We were on the 57th Street side, though, so there was lots of street and traffic noise, even on the 9th floor. The breakfast was amazing - huge, in a lovely room, for only $4! great for NYC. I go to NYC about twice/year, so we will definitely stay here again. |

| The Salisbury is an excellent location, beside Central Park, walking distance from Time Sq, beside subway. The rooms while maybe needing some decor, were comfortable and clean, The reception area small and maybe gets a bit crowded with people booking in etc, but for vacation when you are out and about this hotel will serve the purpose but if you wanted luxury eg sports facilities and a spacious reception area and maybe bar facilities then you need to go else where but we enjoyed. |

| This hotel was good value for the price. The decor is a little tired, but it is an old hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean. The location is perfect for getting around the city. The only complaint we have is that my reservation confirmed a King bed, and we received two doubles. Other than that, considering we were only in the hotel to sleep, it was a very good place to stay. |

| I was apprehensive about staying at the Salisbury because of mixed reviews. However, we were looking for location at a good price, and the Salisbury fit the bill. Subway is extremely convenient, but the walk to the theatre district is very easy. Our room was huge with a microwave and fridge, as well as an extra sink outside the bathroom. The bathroom fixtures were slightly dated, but everything was clean. Ask for a room away from 57th Street. I made the mistake of thinking we would like to see out, but the street noise is pretty bad all night. We did not eat the breakfast because a bagel place is on the corner. Go to the Salisbury's website and get their frequent stay card. It may or may not get you an upgrade, but it's free, so why not? We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here (even though I broke my arm ice skating!), and would definitely stay again. |

| The Salisbury is an older property. The room was a nice size with a large bathroom, 2 huge walk-in closets with a safe. A small fridge, microwave, and sink also. Our room had 2 queen size beds (a little firm for our taste) and 2 comfortable chairs. We opted for the 16th floor and it was nice. Elevators were a bit slow during peak times but we never had to wait overly long. Very close to Broadway shows and Times Square. Just a couple short blocks to Central Park. A terrific location. Continental Breakfast offered for 4 but we never ate there. There is a "Pick a Bagel" on the corner which was terrific with everything you could imagine for breakfast. We will stay at the Salisbury again on our next trip to NYC. |

| If you want value for money and a great location then the Salisbury is for you..We were expecting a tiny room but there were 2 double beds in our room for 2 people and it was cleaned everyday..staff were a bit stand-offish but the free breakfast made up for it! |

| Our stay at the Salisbury Hotel was overall excellent. The size of the room, a one bedroom suite, was more than spacious for the 5 of us. The location was superb, a short walk from Central Park, shopping and Time Square. If the subway is your preferred method of travel, 2 convenient stops, 1 to 5 blocks, will get you anywhere you need to go. This hotel also offers a continental breakfast which met our needs. Sometimes there may be a short wait, the dining area is small compared to the number of rooms/guests in the hotel. Response time from the front desk was slow, like when I called requesting additional towels that came slow once and never another time. Also, on checkout day, I had to call the bell captain twice to get out luggage picked up, but they have plenty of storage space to store your luggage if you have time to run around before having to go to the airport. |

| I loved the location and it was better than anticipated. The price was great, compared with other similar hotels. The rooms are dated but not important to me. I only stayed a weekend but plan to return if the price stays competitive. |

| We were given a really spacious room complete with kitchen, dining area & receiving room. We thought we were upgraded to a suite room, but we learned that ours was just their regular room. Hotel location is great. It's in the city center. Many restaurants to choose from within the block. The only thing I did not like is their breakfast. For a heavy breakfast eater like me, bagels & cereals are not enough. Excellent value for money. |
